  I change the domain’s nameservers to point to my personal hosting plan, click save then I do a refresh of the page and the nameservers are reverted back to WordPress.com. How do I make this change and keep it permanent?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  If you’re pointing your domain to GoDaddy, you’ll want to leave the name servers pointed to WordPress.com. You’ll need to use a custom A record instead. Can you try following the instructions here?
